SingularStays Botanico 29 Rooms

I got sick during this stay, and it ruined my vacation. On the first day, I waited until 15:00 because of a cleaning delay, but when I entered at 15:15, the room still wasn't ready. The cleaning lady had left the air conditioning on its coldest setting. At 22:00 the room felt like a fridge. It wasn't warm outside, so I opened the window and waited outdoors until 23:00, but the room stayed cold. I tried switching the air conditioning to heat, but it only had a cold setting. There wasn't a warm blanket in the wardrobe, so I had nothing to cover myself with. I used pillows, couldn't sleep, and woke up with a sore throat. I asked for a blanket the next day, but by then I was already ill. Back in Milan, I had a temperature of 38°C and had to cancel important work appointments and stay home. It caused me a lot of problems. Why was there no warm blanket, and why was the cold air conditioning running in October? One other thing to know: reaching the apartment means crossing an unsafe area. It may be fine in the morning, but in the evening I definitely needed a taxi. Taxis in Valencia aren't expensive, so that didn't affect my one-star rating, but potential guests should know.

My experience in Spain was ruined.

For almost €100 a night, this place was horrible. It's tiny and smelly, and there’s no sound insulation, so you can clearly hear people in the other rooms. The entrance door is loud too, meaning you hear everyone coming into the building all night. It doesn't look like the online photos. Don't trust the high Booking.com rating, or you'll feel scammed.

The location was perfect, but everything else made the €175-per-night price terrible value. At €50, it might have been okay. The bed was the worst part: it sagged badly in the sleeping area and made it hard to rest. A bathroom tap leaked onto the plastic shower tray, making an incredibly loud dripping sound. There's a microwave for heating food, but no chairs to sit and eat it. There were other things they should sort out if they're charging four-star hotel rates: sheets and pillowcases that didn't cover the whole bed, dampness, a bathroom door that wouldn't close properly, exposed wires, and lights that didn't work. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you have no other option, haha.
